Would have Been My Parents' 59th Anniversary

On the 25th of August 2010 would have been my parents' 59th Anniversary.  Unfortunately my dad passed away  on the 4th September 2003. We were however fortunate to have celebrated they 50th Anniversary in 2001. Dad decided a week before the date to have a do and to invite their close friends and family to the house, We had mass for mum and dad to renew their vows as well. Had tents erected, Hyatt to cater the food and some roast lamb and lots of dessert. On the day my parents stayed mostly in their bedroom as we got the place ready for the mass, the tents, the dinning tables, organizing parking, covering the defects of the house with material and lots of flowers. The joy was to see their face of utter shock and joy and appreciation.
Glad dad decided to do it! Heres to you mum and dad, God Bless!

These are pictures of the weeding on the 25th August 1951 at Sacred Heart Cathedral in then Jesselton (Kot Kinabalu) and the party afterwards. This period ooze style and class not needing the glamor of current weddings.

I like the cool cars in the background

Mum and dad also had a hard time deciding to celebrate their 25th Anniversary in 1976 as dad's brother was killed in a plane crash in that year. They went ahead and we all enjoyed it. It was held in Hyatt the people who catered 25 years later.

The following photos are from the 50th Anniversary.
